Bieber fever spikes again; tickets on sale Friday

If you’re 18 or older, you can probably ignore this, or pass the info on to your kids: Justin Bieber is returning to Wells Fargo Arena on July 7.

The last time Bieber Fever hit Des Moines was in 2010, when the pop star sold out The Well. Of course, that was when Bieber was at his commercial peak; shortly after the release of “My World 2.0” and “Baby” was the “Gangnam Style” of its day. His 2012 album “Believe” hasn’t hit the commercial highs of “My World 2.0,” but an album only going platinum is hardly a failure. It just can’t measure up to the triple platinum of the last album.
